This morning a mod stated to me that the army and Marines fill their combat units strictly on a voluntary basis. Can you validate this for me? And please, only recently discharged veterans no more than two years ago. Thanks in advance. (Moved MFAB) Edited by Coast2coast, Jul 27 2017, 04:57 PM.

Philly, I already gave you the answer, but if you feel the need to corroborate, simply contact any of the local recruiters in your hometown and ask them your questions. |

My son commands 40 Marines and 2 Corpsmen, in a year, with 2 tours he'll be the company commander of 200 Marines and assorted Corpsmen, and company staff.. Philly assertion was probably at one point true, but the military doesn't have to take any any knuckle dragged anymore. Also, the kids coming in now are way smarter then they were of my generation or my father's and grandfathers, they options are only limited by their knowledge of what they want. You pick 3 MOS's, the military doesn't you a specific one, just one of the three assuming there are openings in the "A'' school, but don't worry, there are enough John Wayne wannabes to fill the infantry billets. Also...I did get to see a fair bit of the world. Edited by Tsalagi, Jul 27 2017, 12:45 PM.

You just wont shut up, will you? If somebody recently discharged ( no more than two years ago) or currently serving: U.S. Army or Marine Corps joins this thread and tells me that all combat units .. Marine .. and Army are strictly voluntary then I'll shut up. There must be somebody here either currently serving or recently discharged that can verify the mod's statement. Until then, I do not believe it. But if they do verify it, then I'll retract my disbelief over what I think is his PC statement and thank them. |

The U.S. Marines and U.S. Army are all volunteer forces. No one is conscripted or drafted into any branch of the military. If you sign up for an military occupational specialty code (MOS) that sees combat, then you've volunteered for a combat unit. |

I didn't ask this. Notice how liberals are switching the question from combat units to all volunteer forces. I didn't ask if the services are all volunteer forces. Any currently serving or recently discharged vets .. please join the thread and provide the correct answer. |

I'm pointing out that you're asking a meaningless question. If they volunteered for a combat MOS, they volunteered for a combat unit. You don't get assigned to a combat MOS without being in a combat unit. |

Philly,one...you don't ever get to tell me to shut up..second, you could have found this out easily enough offline, you know, as well as I do that there isn't anyone on this forum that is a recently discharged veteran other then Fashy, and I'm not sure when he stated he was discharged. Regardless...you're wrong, and you could have been educated by a quick call to your local recruiter. Yet you did it here..hoping to drag our your stupid beliefs. Shall I give the number to a local recruiter here who can educate you? |

Can you figure out that the question is: Are recruits being ordered into combat units? Or are they required to volunteer for them? Yes or no. |

Answer the question then know it all. Are any recruits right before finishing basic training being ordered to report to a combat unit? This is like pulling teeth dear friends. Liberals are doing a line dance with this one. No one in basic training is being ordered to report to a combat unit or are they? It's as simple as that. |

And my contention is that the men are ordered and the women aren't ordered regardless of the conditions of their enlistment. This is why liberals dance while the question remains unanswered. Prove me wrong and I'll admit it someone outside tsalagi's circle. |

This question was answered, the only ones going to a combat unit are those that requested any of the 0300 MOS's when they enlisted PRIOR to recruit training after discussion of their career paths for however long they are enlisting for. So...the answer to your question...is no. Then again, you could have once again, contacted your local recruiter either the Army or the Marines, so I ask you, why didn't you? As there is no draft, the US military has been an all volunteer military for 3 decades. Deeper and deeper into that hole you've dug, just own up to it, you didn't know what you were referring to, and thank Op and me for setting you straight Edited by Tsalagi, Jul 28 2017, 09:35 AM.

Philly would rather choke on a dildo while jumping from a cliff into 110 ft water filled with sharks before he'd admit he was wrong or admit I was right. |

You're not right about anything. You're a liar and a political manipulator and everything you say in this forum has a politically motivated angle to it. I've seen you change positions on a given thread at least two times sometimes three times on a single topic and that is why I told you to stay off this thread. You're not qualified .. read the OP again and don't give me your sons again either. Recently discharged veterans ... that's not you. Without political bias and political angles .. currently serving marines or army or recently discharged veterans within the last two years. At recruitment and if it is stipulated by the recruiter for training in a specific field such as electronics, are the new recruits disqualified for combat duty if they do not request it at enlistment? Let's take this one step at a time. |
